Guys. Holy crap. I can’t even begin to tell you how delicious these things are. I’m an avid snickerdoodle lover, {as was mentioned when I shared this snickerdoodle cookie recipe} but these Snickerdoodle Bars just changed the whole game of snickerdoodle making. Don’t get me wrong, I love making cookies. I really do. But what I can’t stand about it is being tied to the oven every 10 minutes for an hour as you get all of your batches baked. So annoying. That’s why this recipe is perfect for me! You get that yummy, buttery, cinnamon-sugary taste, but you only have to bake it one time. Yep, once. That’s it. Mind = Blown.
We shared these with some friends and they were gone in no time. Everyone kept asking for the recipe and I told them they’d have to wait until it was up on the blog. No, not because I’m selfish, mostly because I was too lazy to write it down. It is what it is. Anyway, you need to make these ASAP because they will literally change your life.

Snickerdoodle is my all time favorite cookie! I definitely need to give this recipe a go!
Aw, Snickerdoodles! I always loved the kind with the cherry in the middle. I’d love to do a version of that kind but in bar form. They look awfully tasty!
I LOVE snickerdoodles, I bet these cookie bars are delicious!

I made this recipe, only I added cinnamon chips to the batter. They were deadly good, and a huge hit!
